Output Buffer/VOUT Operation

The Output Driver buffers the wiper voltage (VW) of the

Resistor Ladder.

The DAC output is buffered with a low power and

precision output amplifier (op amp). This amplifier

provides a rail-to-rail output with low offset voltage and

low noise. The amplifier’s output can drive the resistive

and high-capacitive loads without oscillation. The

amplifier provides a maximum load current which is

enough for most programmable voltage reference

applications.

Refer

Section 1.0

“Electrical

Characteristics”

for the specifications of the output

amplifier.

Figure 5-5 shows the block diagram of the output driver

circuit.

The user can select the output gain of the output

amplifier. The gain options are:

Gain of 1, with either the VDD or VREF pin used

as reference voltage.

Gain of 2.

Power-down logic also controls the output buffer

operation

(see

Section 5.6

“Power-Down

Operation”

for

additional

information

Power-Down). In any of the three power-down modes,

the op amp is powered-down and its output becomes a

high impedance to the VOUT pin.

Table 5-1 shows the gain bit operation.

5.3.1

PROGRAMMABLE GAIN

The amplifier’s gain is controlled by the Gain (G)

configuration bit (see Register 4-5) and the VRL

reference selection.

The volatile G bit value can be modified by:

• POR events

• BOR events

• SPI write commands

Note:

The load resistance must keep higher than

 for the stable and expected analog

output (to meet electrical specifications).
